Event Viewer Email Alert

Heath Mason · Dec 29, 2003

Is there any way to set up the event viewer to send an
email if a critical event happens? Thanks.

Hello Heath,

Windows does not have any built in - OS event-log monitoring tools, other than the event log itself.
You will need to look at 3rd party solutions to acomplish this goal.

Windows & .NET Magazine had this link about it -

A small list of monitoring tools cam be found here.

Hope this information helps,
